1. A method comprising:

  • combining signals from two receive antennas having non-equal polarization to emulate a single receive antenna having a polarization state, the combining includes;

    mapping a surface of a Poincaré

    Sphere to a polarization search domain;

    searching over the polarization search domain using a proxy metric, the proxy metric being a proxy for an estimated signal quality metric; and

    adjusting the polarization state based on the searching
